Most metals are not magnetic but iron is why?

Physics
1 answer:
harina [27]3 years ago
5 0

 This is because of the way that the electrons in an atom of iron behave. The electrons in an iron atom tend to have the ability to align themselves and face one toward one direction such that one side of the atom has high negative charge and the other side has a high positive charge. So then that atom will behave like a tiny magnet.

 Now when many of these "tiny magnets"  line up, their combined attraction creates the force known as magnetism.

Most other elements do not have this unique property that iron has and that is why they are not magnetic.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

change 1000km into Metre

1000km=1000000 M

speed= distance/time

time=distance/speed

time=1000000/299792458

time= 0.0033second

A square is cut out of a copper sheet. Two straight scratches on the surface of the square intersect forming an angle theta. The
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

<em>a) increases</em>

Explanation:

Almost all substance or material undergoes expansion due to heating. Heat gives thermal energy to the molecules of a substance increasing their body temperature. The temperature of a substance is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of that substance. When the temperature of a substance increases, the molecules begin to agitate and try to move far from each other, leading to either a linear, area, or cubic expansion, or all three of them. Metals like copper expand very well on heating, and their expansion is relatively minute, but very observable. When the face of such a copper is scratched to give and angle, heating the copper uniformly will cause the copper to expand, leading to an increase in the angle formed.
